Released: June 2025
A cinematic pop ballad for the people who grew up surviving more than they lived.
“Broken Feels Like Home” is one of the rawest, most vulnerable songs in AiLFsWorld.
It’s about what happens when chaos becomes your normal - when stillness feels unnatural, when kindness feels suspicious, and when love terrifies you more than heartbreak ever did.
Some of us learned to breathe underwater.
Some of us grew up in the storm.
And when life finally quiets down, the silence hits harder than the chaos ever did.
This song holds all of that.
It’s a story of trying to trust something good.
Trying to grow past old patterns.
Trying not to burn down the things that might actually save you.
ABOUT THE TRACK
Broken Feels Like Home” blends emotional storytelling with cinematic pop production - sweeping harmonies, atmospheric soundscapes, and a vocal delivery that feels like trembling hands holding something delicate.
This song was written from a very real place: when you grow up surrounded by chaos, it becomes your normal.
It teaches you to expect instability.
It shapes who you trust.
And without even realising it, you gravitate toward people who carry the same storms you were raised in.
Not because you want chaos - but because you recognise it.
Because calm feels foreign.
Because stillness feels suspicious.
Lyrically, the track explores:
-
being raised in chaos
-
mistrusting stability
-
attracting the same patterns in relationships
-
unconsciously breaking what’s unbroken
-
learning how to stay
-
learning how to grow
This isn’t just a heartbreak song - it’s a reconstruction. It’s the moment you realise that “home” can be rebuilt into something softer, safer, and finally your own.
